I was in JB HiFi the other night with MrsDarthKermit. I thought I'd be nice and show her what I'd like to get her for Christmas.

For some reason, she didn't appreciate my thoughtfulness and nearly clocked me with the matching item that goes with this product.

Cool accessory

You're a brave man! Did @MrsDarthKermit make you walk home?

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

While showing this post to my wife just now, she sternly suggested I shouldn't laugh. She reminded me that I gave her an ironing board for Christmas one year, and followed that up with an iron for he birthday the following month. Ahh yes, I remember now. That was quite a number of years ago though, and I wouldn't be so careless as to make this mistake again!

I think the iRon is just the HID, as @DarthKermit discovered. This is the actual processor.

iRon-ing board plus a hot Note 7 to run over the shirts and linen to smove out the wrinkles ....

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Maybe she might like a cordless drill or water blaster, or a video card upgrade?

I buy my wife either Batman, Pearl Jam, Iron Maiden or Like A Storm stuff and shes happy.

Buy her anything practical and it would be inserted into places.

Has she ever accidentally left any of them inside you, your back, ribs, that sort of thing?
